Absorbing, Edgy, Resonant, Relevant

See it if You want to see a relevant story involving gay culture in modern times. It is intimate and the small space is used well.

Don't see it if You are offended by full frontal nudity (there's lots). Also the play does not feel fully developed, but certainly not terrible in any way.
